A 19-year-old White Hall man has been arrested in the first of four bank robberies in Little Rock this week, marking the fourth suspect to be charged in a string of holdups police believe to be unrelated.

Pulaski County jail records show Devonta K. Piggee was booked in about 2:15 a.m. on charges of aggravated robbery and theft of property.

Piggee made an initial appearance in Little Rock District Court Thursday, during which an innocent plea was entered, his bail was set at $250,000 and he was ordered to wear an ankle monitor if he's released.

Piggee is suspected of robbing the Iberia Bank at 4900 W. Markham St. about 3:45 p.m. Monday.

According to a police report, the robber lifted up his shirt and displayed a black revolver after passing a teller a note demanding cash "and no dye packs."

After getting an undisclosed amount of cash, the robber ran north from the business. No one was injured.

Police released a surveillance photo from the bank showing the purported robber wearing a red Dollarway Cardinals shirt. Prosecutors said during the video hearing Thursday morning that Piggee was developed as a suspect after "numerous calls" to investigators identified him from the photo.

The holdup was the start of a flurry of bank-robbing activity in Little Rock, but police say none of the cases appear to be related.

This epidemic of bank robberies is not going to stop happening until we make better attempts to ensure that children are raised in safe and loving homes and that they receive a decent education. I have no doubt that this person was habitually truant and the victim of neglect--if not child abuse. The kids need to be kept in decent schools and protected. Drug addicts and criminals need to be put on longterm birth control as a condition of parole. Parents of truant kids need to be thrown in jail. Also, they need to teach kids that crime does not pay. It is much easier just to get a job and work hard than try to rob a bank or get a bribe in a pie. Very few crooks get away with it in the long haul.
